This happened to me too, today, when I ran apt-get update apt-get
dist-upgrade for the first time in about a month. I have a bunch of xine
packages installed, and they are listed when I do
dpkg -l | grep -v ^ii | grep -v ^rc
One advice given in http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=231752
Also seeing this in Intrepid after a (considerable) batch of updates
this morning. The offending package seems to be libc6.

You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu
Bugs, which
actually I'm not sure about the offending package; it may have been
libxine-x but I have little experience (well OK no experience) in
figuring out such things. I uninstalled xine and re-installed, and now
my system is OK I think.

Bug is also in Intrepid, what can i do
(https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/dpkg/+bug/46530)?

* Backport Ian Jackson's fix for the assertion failure that occurs when
dependency cycle breaking fails
Opening a dapper task for this, as I'm uploading to dapper-proposed to
get this fixed on the buildds (as well as for LTS users)

For the record, while this is clearly affecting dapper users, what makes
it a bit more critical is that it's also breaking the buildds. Whee.

It was in fact also a bug in blt's dependencies, but those seem to be
less pathological in version 2.4z-4; in particular blt no longer
Depends: blt-common.

For form's sake, here's a stable release update proposal which I've
distilled from this bug:
Impact: Once certain packages have been installed, dpkg will always
fail with process_queue: Assertion `dependtry = 4' failed. The
affected package can be determined using the 'dpkg --audit' command,
Accepted into dapper-proposed. Please test once it lands.

1.13.11ubuntu7~proposed has been rolled out to the buildds and has, in
fact, fixed the problem that prompted me to look into this in the first
place.

Verified that dpkg can continue working, and that installing a faulty
package like blt will work.
